7:35 John Bacon, author of, THE GALES OF NOVEMBER: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Liveright: Oct 7, 2025),
award-winning journalist John U. Bacon discusses his new book – THE GALES OF NOVEMBER: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Liveright: Oct 7, 2025)? John Bacon is available starting Wednesday, November 12, 2025. If there is interest, please respond with a date/time for the interview and the address to mail the book.
At the height of America’s postwar boom, no region was more vital to the nation’s economic strength than the Great Lakes. It was the beating heart of the global economy—possessing all the power and prestige that Silicon Valley enjoys today. This industrial dominance depended on Great Lakes freighters getting iron ore from the shores of Lake Superior to the factories in Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland.
Few endeavors have bound time so mercilessly to money as Great Lakes shipping did at its peak, and no vessel had been more perfectly designed to maximize both than the S. S. Edmund Fitzgerald. At 75 feet wide and 729 feet long, the Fitzgerald was at the time of her launch the largest ship on the lakes, and she repeatedly broke her own records for the largest loads, the fastest runs, and the biggest season hauls throughout her career. She was a champion heavyweight, sprinter, and workhorse, all in one.
But on November 10, 1975, when the “storm of the century” threw 100 mile-per-hour winds and 50-foot waves on Lake Superior, the Mighty Fitz found itself at the worst possible place, at the worst possible time. When she sank, she took all 29 men onboard down with her. Despite decades of investigations, the precise cause of her sinking remains unresolved — a combination of mystery, heroism, and engineering intrigue that still haunts mariners and historians alike. Bacon’s account weaves together science, weather, ship design, and human drama to explain not only what happened, but why this tragedy continues to matter.

7:10 Lt. Commander Thomas E. Caldwell – author The Mouths of the Wicked: A True January 6 Story of Corruption, Persecution, Survival, and Victory. Get the book HERE: www.puffinpublishers.com
Decorated Navy Lt. Commander Thomas E. Caldwell—a disabled veteran in his sixties—was living peacefully on his Virginia family farm when FBI agents executed a pre-dawn SWAT raid. The charges? That he was a leader of the Oath Keepers who stormed the Capitol and “hunted down” members of Congress.
Every single claim was false.
Tom was never a member of the Oath Keepers. He never entered the Capitol. He never planned an attack. The Government has since admitted all of this—but only after Tom spent over 50 days in solitary confinement and endured years of prosecution.
WHY NOW: Tom’s explosive new book, The Mouths of the Wicked: A True January 6 Story of Corruption, Persecution, Survival, and Victory, releases November 6. For years, he was legally silenced. Now pardoned, he’s finally free to reveal everything—how the FBI made assumptions without investigation, how he corrected their “evidence” during interrogation, and how the media branded him a would-be assassin. All lies. All documented.
- The FBI raided based on ASSUMPTIONS—admitted they were wrong AFTER the arrest
- Held 50+ days in solitary for crimes the Government now admits he didn’t commit
- Never entered the Capitol, yet branded a terrorist and assassin
- A disabled veteran in his sixties treated like a violent extremist
- First time telling the complete, unfiltered story
Tom is a grandfather-aged Christian veteran who served his country honorably—only to have that government destroy his reputation and livelihood based on false accusations they later retracted.
8:10 Dr. Dennis Powers, “Where Past Meets Present” www.DennisPowersBooks.com
Bill Phillips: American Aviation Artist (And More)
By Dennis Powers
William S. Phillips was born in Van Nuys, California in 1945. He had an instinctive calling to art, as his father was a fine painter and cartoonist, but chose the theatre for a career. As for Bill, he developed also a love with flight dating back to the days when he was twelve and spent his afternoons watching Air National Guard F-86’s take off and land at the Van Nuys Airport. “By the time I got home I was so excited,” he said later. “I spent the rest of the weekend trying to sketch what I had seen.”
Phillips enlisted in 1963 in the Air Force, and his basic training class was as an air policemen. Originally assigned to Minot, North Dakota–a Strategic Air Command missile and B-52 base–he wangled reassignment to Portland Air Base, “which had fighters, F-102s and F-89s, so I bummed rides in everything that came along.”
Eventually Bill wound up at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, South Vietnam, where he spent 1965. “We ran security and ambush patrols, but fortunately we hardly ever made contact with the Viet Cong,” he recalled. But merely living in that environment afforded “a wealth of visual impressions” that he could use later.
After discharge, Phillips attended Southern Oregon University, majoring in criminal justice as he intended to enter law school, all the while continuing to hone his painting skills. Phillips is a self-taught artist. He studied the techniques of Luminists Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran and Frederick Church. Note: Luminism is a style of 19th-century American landscape painting, characterized by a focus on light and atmosphere, often depicting calm, reflective water and a soft, hazy sky, with meticulous detail and a subtle rendering of light”–perfect for depicting landscapes, towns, and aircraft in flight.
“But my desire to become an attorney came to an abrupt halt one sunny afternoon in April 1971 when I decided to hang four of my World War I aircraft paintings in the Red Baron Restaurant at the Medford airport. To my sheer delight, before I’d hung the third painting, a gentleman sitting in the restaurant asked me if they were for sale, and bought all four for the grand sum of one hundred dollars.”
With that initial success, Bill and his wife, Kristi, decided he should try to paint professionally. Kristi worked with the school district and Bill became a fireman, working 24 hours on and 48 hours off. “A nine-to-five job is murder for an artist,” he observed.
Bill continued on a three-year self-education program that he described as “Art 101.” “I read and assimilated everything I could on the old masters’ styles and techniques, with special interest in how they manipulated color and light.” He also was drawn to the acknowledged masters of the emerging school of aviation art: Briton Frank Wooton and Americans R. G. Smith and Keith Ferris. Bill acknowledges the influence of these established experts, along with Bob McCall, regarded by some as one of the best space artists.
He painted western and wildlife subjects as well, selling through an Ashland gallery, to complement his aviation work. In 1975, however, his big break was being accepted as a member of the Air Force Art Program, which allowed him to focus on aviation art. That same year, he had painted his first “nostalgic” piece, a painting of an old car with a rumble seat in crossing a wooden bridge.
This allowed him to fly to a wide variety of spots around the world, such as Jordan, Germany, England, and Japan; and for Bill to personally fly numerous hours in some of the aircraft he painted. Bill had the adrenaline high of air-combat-maneuvering mission between U.S. Air Force F-15s and F-16s or in an Arabian F-5.
His accomplishments include a commissioned painting in 1973 for the U.S. Air Force Academy and a one-man show in 1986 at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. That year, the Navy League asked him to help in celebrating the 75th anniversary of naval aviation. Invited to the Persian Gulf and North Arabian Sea in 1988, he visited ten ships in 30 days and later produced six paintings for the Navy Combat Art Collection in Washington, D.C. King Hussein of Jordan commissioned a series of paintings. Bill did artwork for U.S. postage stamps, and he was nominated to the Oregon Aviation Hall of Honor. Plus, he was awarded a term as an Artist in Residence at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Bill Phillips lives in Ashland at his artist studio with his wife, Kristy. By following his passion and graced with a dedicated talent, he stands in our region with the likes of Peter Britt and Eugene Bennett. And hundreds of oil paintings that he created.
